In this week's episode of the League Express Podcast, Editor Martyn Sadler and Host Jake Kearnan discuss Nick Politis' investing in a Super League club and his interest in re-branding the Salford Red-Devils to the Salford Roosters. They discuss the Perth Bears bid being approved by the NRL for 2027 and what impact that will have on the new PNG side for 2028 and more broadly whether there is enough talent to sustain 18 clubs in the NRL and 12 in the Super League. They discuss the Batley Bulldogs hitting back at claims made by the Wests Tigers CEO on James Graham's 'The Bye Round' podcast and preview this weekend's Magic Weekend match ups.
